The Spanish family I babysat for went back to Spain, so that job is over. Also, I will only be working three nights a week for the Pub Crawl rather than four since they are hiring new people (which will be better for my body, anyway). To fill the rest of my time, I met a guy yesterday that's going to be teaching me castellano (the Argentine dialect). Today, he spent three free hours with me while we drank mate, and I filled a page-worth of notes on new phrases I learned. I'm extremely excited about this new schedule - I would rather be learning more Spanish than earning money... it's what I came here to do!
Unfortunately, my roommates are dropping like flies (even though I just moved in with them to the Palermo neighborhood). In less than 3 weeks, I have to find yet ANOTHER place to live because they either can't find jobs or they can't afford to stay in this apartment. Even though I despise the move-out process and looking for a new place, it will give me another opportunity to find Argentines to live with.
I am tired of getting stood up by my students. I can't tell you how many classes I go to where they just never show up. And it's just their lifestyle -- it's acceptable for them not to give any forewarning. And it's obnoxious.
There is a street called Libertad on which, for about 10 blocks, you will find only gold and jewelry vendors. Doesn't this make it difficult to make sales if you're entirely surrounded by your competition for 10 blocks?
